Proverbial thorn in U-M's side and lover of all things sweater vest, Tosu head coach Jim Tressel has agreed to a seven-year contract with the Bucks that will pay him almost $2.4 million this season. The contract runs through January 13, 2013.

In five seasons at the helm, Tressel is 50-13. He's won a national title, is 4-1 in bowl games and (ouch) 4-1 versus the Wolverines. However, he has yet to win an outright Big 10 title nor truthfully explain the bomb sniffing dogs the Michigan bus was confronted with before the 2004 game in Columbus.

I only hope that UM shows as much generosity to Lloyd Carr so they can even his record vs tOSU. Especially since we showed patience giving Cooper 13 cracks at UM, resulting in 2 wins - three if you are Gordon Gee.

Love your blog, keep up the good work. This is part of what keeps our rivalry the best in the nation.

I gotta agree with anonymous and ask, "What is UM doing for Carr?" Will they recognize the abilities of the man and what he has done for UM and extend his contract or will they use the stadium rebuilding controversy as a convenient diversion?

Michigan's Lloyd Carr had won 4 of 5 UM-OSU games, had won a national title, won two BCS-level bowl games, notched two Big Ten titles and continually won the BIG GAMES, often impressively [2-1 vs ND, had won 3 bowl games in a row, and was almost perfect against Top 10 teams].

UM then did this...

ANN ARBOR, MICH. (AP) -- Llloyd Carr, Michigan's football coach for the past five years, signed a six-year, $6.1-million contract last Monday, putting him among the nation's coaching elite in terms of salary....

Of course Michigan fan thinks that it matters that OSU has not won an outright Big Ten title in the Tressel Era. After all, neither did the famous "Fab Five" who incidentally NEVER WON ANYTHING including even a SHARE of a BIG TEN TITLE!! Screw you you idiot!!
